Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Women have a significant increase in blood volume during pregnancy. After delivery, the additional circulating volume is no longer necessary.
The hematocrit decreases with pregnancy due to the high fluid volume.
Fibrinogen levels increase with pregnancy.
Leukocyte levels increase during labor, but that is not the reason for the toleration of blood loss.
